Well, it's concerning that in the US, wealthier people live longer. Generally, when you hear someone trying to justify the extreme wealth inequality of the US (compared to most of the developed world), the response is along the lines of, "well, there's huge inequality in relative terms, but that's not important, because in absolute terms, the poor in the US are pretty well off". But if being poor in the US means you die young, then wealth inequality is pretty important in terms of quality of life!
